Item Antibacterial Resistance in Lower Respiratory Tract Bacterial Pathogens: A Multicenter Analysis from Turkey(2021) Guclu, Aylin Uskudar; Kocak, Aylin Altay; Ok, Mehtap Akcil; Tutluoglu, Bulent; Basustaoglu, Ahmet; 0000-0002-1872-028X; 0000-0002-0451-0142; 33690209; AAU-6196-2020; AAI-8012-2021Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the etiology of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) and their antibiotic resistance. Methodology: Bacterial culture results of LRT samples from 17 hospitals between 2016-2019 were included in the study. All isolates were identified and AST were performed by automated microbiology systems. AST was performed according to EUCAST. Results: Non-duplicate 30,051 (26,890 HA and 3156 CA) isolates detected as causative pathogen. LRTIs are caused by 85.1% Gram-negative bacterial pathogens and 14.9% Gram-positive. The most common isolates among HA pathogens were Acinetobacter spp. (27.4%), P. aeruginosa (22.2%), K. pneumoniae (17.9%); among CA pathogen S. pneumoniae (19.9%), P. aeruginosa (18.9%), H. influenzae (14.6%). ESBL rate was 62.5% in K. penumoniae; 53.1% in E.coli; 19.1% in Klebsiella spp; 13.9% in Enterobacter spp.; 8.6% in Proteus spp.; 6.3% in Citrobacter spp.; and 4.3% in Serratia spp. Resistance rates to carbapenems and colistin were 92.8% and 12.8% in A baumannii, 39.8% and 7.5% in P. aeruginosa, 47.3% and 18.5% in K. penumoniae. Among staphylococci, 27.3% of S. aureus and 82.4% of CoNS were methicillin resistant. 7.6% of E.faecium and 0.9% of E. faecalis were vancomycin resistant. Linezolid resistant S. aureus, CoNS, E. faecalis and E. faecium rates were 0.3%, 2.9%, 0.0% and 4.6%. Inducible clindamycin resistant rate was 17.2% in S. aureus 38.2% in CoNS. Non-susceptible S. pneumoniae isolate rate to penicillin was 37.0%. 6.5% of S. maltophilia and 4.4% of B. cepacia isolates were resistant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Conclusions: Antibiotic resistance was mainly observed among A. baumannii and K. pneumoniae and continuous surveillance of antimicrobial resistance patterns in the management of LRTIs is important.Item A content analysis of food advertising on Turkish television(2016) Ok, Mehtap Akcil; Ercan, Aydan; Kaya, Fatih Suleyman; 26135584; AAZ-8170-2020The aim of this study was to conduct a comprehensive content analysis of Television (TV) food advertising and compare various food advertisements on free-to-air Turkish national TV channels by broadcast time (duration) and frequency over the period of aweek (19-25 April 2012). TV food advertisements were the unit of content analysis in this study. Each advertisement identified as promoting a food product was analysed for content; non-food advertisements were not analysed, although they were counted as a proportion of the advertisements aired. We recorded all programmes for 4 h each per day (7 p.m.-11 p.m.), totalling 84 h. Five types of food-related advertisements were identified (basic foods, junk foods, meat products, beverages and fast food), and six types of non-food advertisements. The Student t-test and ANOVA were used to compare the mean broadcast time of all prime time advertising for the two groups. The mean broadcast times for prime time, non-food advertisements showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). This difference is related to the prime time period 7 p.m.-8p.m. being considered dinner time for most Turkish families. Additionally, the number and broadcast times of beverage advertisements increased during this time period, while the broadcast time per beverage advertisement decreased (ratio = 20.8 s per ads). As a result, TV food advertising increased not only during dinner time but also in overall broadcast time (per advertisement). These findings may be useful for explaining how advertising can negatively influence food choices, thereby increasing public awareness of the need for health messages targeting obesity.
